InfluencesCategory 1 - Dead, White Men
These guys are to me as Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, Adams, etc. are to Americans who care about important things.

   Andrew J. Lederer's Blurbs
About me:
"Taking few cues from the ho-hum ba-dum-pum punch of some stand-up, Andrew J. Lederer is a conversationalist comedian with a shifting rhythm all his own."
The Onion


"Sparkling wit."
Hairline


"Possesses a wry erudition that could turn the dullest dinner party into the social event of the decade"
Metro


"Delightfully gifted comedian"

"Deft narrative stand-up comedy."
Fringe Report


"An eloquent, thoughtful and witty performer."
Chortle


"Like all great raconteurs, we actively enjoy hearing about his suffering, which becomes our entertainment because his ability to tell enthralling comic stories is innate."

"Virtually a masterclass in how to improvise comedy. He made it look and feel effortless when, in fact, it's the hardest thing of all to do. He's a world class act."

"He is absolutely fucking brilliant."
John Fleming, writing at chortle.co.uk


"A remarkably composed and assured storyteller at ease with talking to a whole room or just a few people . Strongly recommended"
Davy James, writing at chortle.co.uk


"The man really knows how to tell a good yarn."
Matt Price, writing at chortle.co.uk
